Pathology

Pathology sits at the crossroads of basic science and clinical practice.  Pathology is where biologists find clinical application for their work, where clinicians find a rational approach to medicine, and where students find the conceptual threads that unify modern medicine.  The discipline of pathology drives the translation of basic research into clinical application, and drives the translation of clinical questions into basic research.  

We believe that a pathologist is an individual who is conversant with both basic scientists and clinicians, and who can bring these fields together to drive the advancement of medicine.  We are presently expanding our clinical programs, and we are developing new research programs that focus on campus-wide goals and strengths in molecular pathology, precision medicine and other areas.  We invite you to peruse our website and to pay a virtual visit to our Department.  

The University of Toledo signed a 50-year affiliation with the ProMedica Toledo Hospital, the largest hospital system in the city. The affiliation provides us with benefits such as an increased surgical volume. Between the two locations, our residents are exposed to greater than 60,000 widely varied surgical specimens per year as well as over 30,000 cytology specimens, which competes with some of the largest, most reputable programs in the area. We are also given access to state-of-the art clinical pathology labs, including an extensive hematopathology practice, on-site flow cytometry, busy blood bank, and impeccably run microbiology lab.
